Consuelo was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in July. The surgeon at Ann Arbor Regional Medical Center recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $12,000, and after what my insurance will pay we're still $6,000 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Ann Arbor Regional Medical Center since July. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $12,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Consuelo struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Consuelo won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing.
The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did.
Where the $6,000 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,400
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $1,750
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $390
• Post-operative medication: $400
• Physiotherapy sessions: $830
• Travel and lodging for the family: $230
With deep gratitude,

hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Nairobi.
Thinking of you, Roberto. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Ann Arbor.
